The election between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump…<\/p>\n
… or, as I overheard one cynical Bernie Sanders supporter have it, “George W Bush and George Wallace”… and I suppose Assange’s much overmatched dumping of Clinton Wall Street speech material against the much more viral Donald Trump acting like a boorish buffoon sells him on the idea<\/a>.<\/p>\n That’s one leak.\u00c2\u00a0 The other one… quite possibly spells the death of Donald Trump’s presidential campaign shot<\/a> — the reason I’ve once thought that this campaign is anywhere between a close Trump victory and a historic landslide for Clinton —<\/p>\n Somewhere between Obama’s easy win but not landslide over McCain but not where you have Reagan over Mondale.\u00c2\u00a0 But who knows?<\/p>\n What needed to happen for the former, electorally and polling-wise, was coming into the focus during Hillary Clinton’s week off due to pneumonia.\u00c2\u00a0 What needs to happen for the latter — well, that will happen if (suburban Republican) women drop from Donald Trump EN MASSE, and it was never hard to figure out how that might end up happening.<\/p>\n I have this vision of\u00c2\u00a0 Hillary Clinton, and her campaign, trying to figure out how to effectively press the advantage and having a boat-load of Donald Trump material at the ready.\u00c2\u00a0 There’s a danger of it sliding into static background noise (like everything else with Trump’s campaign that would spell the end of any normal politician), and there’s a danger of it being “old news” by the time of the election, super-ceded by … oh, transcript revelations that Hillary Clinton was very chummy with Wall Street officials, for instance.<\/p>\n So you start by you run the theme-centering ad of kids watching Trump’s vulgarisms.\u00c2\u00a0 When you zero in the misogynistic angle for a follow-up on the ad, you do so at the time of the first debate. \u00c2\u00a0 The debate is where you bring up the issue of Miss Universe.\u00c2\u00a0 And you do so at the end of the debate, so it will be the thing most people will most remember, and where Donald Trump will have been worn out.<\/p>\n The comedy of Julian Assange knowing the timing of when to dump the damnable material out on Hillary Clinton<\/a> — to confirm the biases to that guy who thinks this election is Bush versus Wallace… right before the second debate… is that Hillary Clinton and her campaign also know when to dump things and this is when\u00c2\u00a0 you leak this tape<\/a>.<\/p>\n So Donald Trump can defend it as “Locker Room” “Private”, and most amusingly<\/a>…<\/p>\n \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Bill Clinton has said far worse to me on the golf course\u00c2\u00a0\u00e2\u20ac\u201d\u00c2\u00a0not even close<\/em>.”<\/p>\n Oh, if Bill Clinton’s private talk were public, he would not have survived.\u00c2\u00a0 Come to think of it, the same is the case with Richard Nixon, isn’t it? The “golfing with Clinton” angle poses a question to a class of Trump supporters (out in “alt right” territory — though, for that matter also his constellation of angry white downtrodden men)… isn’t that a little too chummy — like, is Donald Trump then going to run with Bill Clinton to the Bilderberg Group meeting, or something?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The election between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump… … or, as I overheard one cynical Bernie Sanders supporter have it, “George W Bush and George Wallace”… and I suppose Assange’s much overmatched dumping of Clinton Wall Street speech material against the much more viral Donald Trump acting like a boorish buffoon sells him on the […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-15923","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.struat.com\/election\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15923","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.struat.com\/election\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.struat.com\/election\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.struat.com\/election\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.struat.com\/election\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=15923"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"http:\/\/www.struat.com\/election\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15923\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":15926,"href":"http:\/\/www.struat.com\/election\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15923\/revisions\/15926"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.struat.com\/election\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=15923"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.struat.com\/election\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=15923"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.struat.com\/election\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=15923"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
\nYes.\u00c2\u00a0 I am familiar with the armchair psycho-analysis on Bill Clinton with a “Saturday night Clinton” and a “Sunday morning Clinton”.\u00c2\u00a0 I’m also familiar with Bill Clinton having a Sunday Morning Clinton as distinct from a Saturday Night Clinton.\u00c2\u00a0 Which I’m not familiar with in regards to Donald Trump.\u00c2\u00a0 And beyond that… there’s that matte of <\/a>…<\/p>\n
